P: Update UI for small screen pixel dimensions

[elianoimperato]

Hello everyone,

this is a bug I think:

View on a MacBook Air M1 with display resolution set on "Default" (1440 x 900).

View with display resolution set on "More Space" (1680 x 1050).

So, using a default resolution we will never know that after the color labels ther's another attribute called "Kind" with other three options.

For display resolution, LR Classic requires a "minimum" of 1024 x 768 but "recommends" 1920 x 1080:

There are a number of places in LR where the UI truncates information when the resolution is less than the recommended size, though you can still get at the functionality by other means. For example, you can use the Metadata browser to filter by attributes that get truncated from the Filter bar. 

I suspect that Adobe will consider such truncation at sizes below the recommended size "as designed" rather than a "bug" (not as-designed). Regardless of how they label it (which often seems arbitrary), given that other such suboptimal behaviors have been reported for many years (e.g. with Preferences), I don't think Adobe would prioritize a fix.

As for workarounds for the Filter bar's Attributes in particular, you can probably get at the truncated ones by temporarily collapsing the left and/or right panels and/or making them narrower.

On my LR 14.0.1 / Mac OS 14.6.1, the minimum width of the LR window needed to display the full Attribute bar:

- Both left and right panels collapsed: 900 

- Left collapsed, right at minimum width: 1214

- Left at minimum width, right at minimum width: 1524

I think there are several things going on here.

First, this is probably a new problem because Adobe recently added new Export attribute filtering options, marked in the picture below. Adding those might be why the bar got long enough that it no longer fits on a screen set up at 1440px UI resolution.

When I make the window smaller until everything in the filter bar just fits (as in the picture above), the bar about 864 pixels wide depending on whether you count the black borders. Are you able to make more space by narrowing the width of the left and right panel stacks, or are they already as narrow as they go?

Also, the problem probably doesn’t happen if the display meets the Recommended width in system requirements (1920px in UI resolution). The M1 MacBook Air default is only 1440px wide at that setting, which does meet the Minimum requirement but is short of Recommended.
